My Pending Identifications: Chakrata-Scurulla 2:: NS MARCH 04 : 12 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (5)- 2nd set is correct, as above. (Mixed thread):
I do not know where to attach these pics, with my previous post or this one…
These pics were recorded in August 2013 from Chakrata area.. I have named the thumbnails as Taxillus vestitus, hope they help to reach to any conclusion (I hope, they will not increase confusion).. these were shot from approximately same location as the earlier pics in this mail..

It looks me Scurula elata

A reply from …, who is an expert on this family: “Pl. wait”

Seems to match with Scurrula elata if id at FOI is correct.

Again, from the Phulchowki area I have another one I am not able to ID. I believe it is an Aeschynanthus. It was growing on old degraded Quercus semecarpifolia trees.

Scurrula pulverulenta (Wall.) G. Don: 3 high res. images.

Location: Surkhet, West Nepal
Altitude: 1176m.
Date: 27 August 2021
Habit : Wild
Pl. post close up clear images of the inflorescence.
It may be Scurrula elata (Edgew.) Danser (mostly) or Scurrula cordifolia (Wall.) G. Don, as the leaves appear to be subcordate.

It was quite a distance. Only I can crop. Is that ok?

Let us see.


Did not help.
Taking it as Scurrula elata (Edgew.) Danser for the time being.


Some elevation issue ??
